Rockbox Logo...
Yotto:
I played with the logo a bit, keeping as true to the original while introducing the diagonal on the R. I "cheated" by expanding each "pixel" to a 2x2 block to make the diagonal look smoothish, while not losing all of its blockiness.
I don't actually think this should replace the default logo or anything. I was just curious how it'd look and was happy with the result. I am a fan, though, of a square logo that will shrink down well. This would shrink down to 18x18 which is pretty small.

That looks smooth to you?
It's in serious need of shading, as opposed to solid black/white.
EDIT: It'd need to scale to 12x12 to be used also, can it go that low?

Well, I wanted to make it as simple as possible, so it's not just black and white, its a 2-color palate.

It does not, at least not smooth(ish)ly, as you need 2 pixels for each horizontal/vertical line, and 6 pixels for each large box. That's a total of 2+2+2+6+6=18 pixels.
You *could* shrink the outside lines to 1 pixel each, and make the larger boxes the size of the small upper-right box (shrinking the upper right box accordingly):
And for fun, here's it with some fuzziness. I am not an artist (in spite of my tag. I am more of a theme-writer than anything else) so am not sure if this is what you were thinking:
bluebrother:
There's only one thing I think is a candidate for a new logo: the one currently used as icon in various places
This looks quite nice while still keeping the spirit of Rockbox.
Llorean:
I'd definitely prefer something symbolic rather than something composed of the letters.
